How Game Dev Story DEFINED An Entire Video Game Genre

Join the WowItsBow Discord:

Thanks for checking out my video! Today we look at the first Kairosoft game ever internationally released, Game Dev Story. Does this game still hold up over 20 years later?

Originally released in the late 1990s, Game Dev Story is a role-playing game developed by Kairosoft for PC, consoles and mobile phones. The game follows the career of a programmer who is hired to develop a new video game for a company. The game has been praised for its innovative gameplay and art style, and has been credited with popularizing the pixel-art graphic style in video games.

If you're a fan of video games, then be sure to check out this video! In it, I discuss the importance of Game Dev Story and how it has changed the video game genre forever.

Replayed Game Dev Story recently and had no idea it was such an old game!
I'm curious, which Kairosoft game is your favourite?

Okay the menu music just gave me massive nostalgia. I still have the same Game Dev story copy from all those years ago on my newest phone that I just got yesterday. Thank God for Smart switch.

I've been earning billions in this game. Also you keep all level 5 genres for the restart so you get an advantage on a new start.

Game Dev Story, along with another four Kairosoft games, are due to come out on Xbox One and Series X/S this coming week. Pre-ordered Game Dev Story less than an hour ago, been wanting to play it for a long time. If I like it I'll see about getting the rest of them as and when able.
It looks like such a nice charming wee game.

I swear this game used to be free (on iOS) but I'm genuinely considering shelling out the 5 bucks to play this game. It was that good.

Oh wow i didn't know that kairosoft was an older company. I saw a lot of their games on the playstore and thought they "mass produced" android games with an older style. I thought it copied game dev tycoon and others.

Lol this game seems to have taken notes on Kojima and Iga and all the other game directors that got burnt out on one IP.

Did Game Dev Tycoon copy Kairosoft's Game Dev Story? Because the game play is similar.

Please stick to it there is no reviews for all games
